BOTTLE CLOSURE.

Application filed June 9, 1922. Serial No. 567,137.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUIs'ro Boeoro, residing at Royalton, in the countyof Franklin and State of Illinois, have invented new and usefulimprovements in Bottle Closures, of which the following is aspecification.

My present invention has reference to a bottle closure.

My object is to produce a simple, cheap and effective means whereby abottle may be hermetically sealed by a closure which can be repeatedlyused.

A further object is to arrange around the neck of a bottle a ring, tohingedly connect to the ring a metal cap having a cork insert and toalso connect the cap and ring by a spring which exerts a su'liicientpressure between the insert and the mouth of the bottle neck as toprevent entrance of outside air thereto.

The drawing which accompanies and forms part of this application,illustrates a satisfactory embodiment of the improvement reduced topractice, and wherein Figure l is a perspective view illustrating theapplication of the improvement.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through the bottle neck in a line with thespring and the hinged connection between the closure and the ring on theneck of the bottle.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, the numeral 1 designates theneck portion oi a bottle of the ordinary construction, the same havingan outwardly bulged portion adjacent to its mouth. Arranged around theneck and held against downward movement by the flared contour of theneck and against outward movement by the referred to bulged portion 2there is a ring 3. The ring has hingedly connected thereto as at e, ahook member 5. The hook has its beak passing through an opening 7 in theflange of a metallic closure 8. The closure is provided with a corkinsert 9. The closure, at a point adjacent its connection with the hookis also provided with an aperture through which is passed one hooked endof a coiled spring 10, the second hooked end being arranged around thering 3.

The spring 10 provides ahinged connection for the cap. The hook 5 isformed from a single strand of Wire having its body portion bentoutwardly from its hinged connection with the ring 3 and from thenceextended at an opposite angle to provide a handle portion 11. Thehandle, it will be noted by reference to the drawings, projects abovethe top of the cap or closure 8 when the latter is in sealing position.The handle is bent upon itself at its outer end and continued downwardlyand from thence c tended at an outward angle to provide the beak 6 ofthe hook. lVhen in closed position the spring 10 exerts a pressureagainst the cap or closure 8 to force the same tightly against the mouthof the bottle; 1 ie closure may be released by sweeping movement of anoperators finger thercover to contact the handle 11 of the hook to bringthe beak 6 thereof out of the opening 7 in the flange of the closure.

Having described the claim:-

Elie combination with a bottle, of a closure therefor comprising afperipheral flanged member having a compressible insert, a ring aroundthe neck of the vessel, a coiled spring having one end secured to thering and its other end passing through the flange of the closure forestablishing a hinged connection between the closure and bottle, a hookmenii301' 'f0l.l118l from single strand of wire hingedly secured to thering diametrically opposite the spring, said hook having its bodyportion arranged at an outward angle and from thence extended at anopposite angle to form a handle portion which is normally disposed abovethe top of the closure, said handle being bent upon itself and continuedrearwardly and from thence outwardly to form a beak, and the closurehaving its flange provided with an aperture receiving the beak of thehook therethrough. in testimony whereof l ai'lix my signature.

GUISTO BOGGIO.
